Critic Reviews

"One of the early pioneers of Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu in America, Hanshi Frank Grant, has given us this valuable book containing the lessons passed down from Grandmaster Shoshin Nagamine. As one of the last old-timers, I highly recommend this book to present and future generations who study not only the technique of Matsubayashi but also its history and traditions." (Jerry Figgiani, president, Shorin Ryu Karatedo International)

"I feel that this book is a great resource not only to those who know the connection between Matsubayashi Shorin-Ryu and Motobu-ha Shito-Ryu but to all martial artists who wish to further their insight into the transition moves within kata." (Kevin Gurganus, Carolina Martial Arts Center, 6th Dan - Motobu-ha Shito-Ryu, Kunibakai International, 4th Dan - Kobudo, Ryukyu Kobudo Hozon Shinkokai)
